Ups and Downs In wall street.

An old gentleman whom a New York
Ledger writer met recently, in four years
paid one firm In Wall street the sum Of
$3.50, 700 in commissions. He was wealthy
man when he went into the street, with Q
laudable but unwarrantable desire 10 In
crease his patrimony by speculating In
stocks. Now, SO heavy have been his
losses that he would be satisfied IL he pos
sessed the sum he has paid out in COM
missions. As it Is, he will cheerfully &C.

had been contented with hand some suf.
Aciency for the day, amounting really to q
superabundance, he would now be In
afiuence instead OF comparative destitu.

Of o years abstinence from smoking, is
